Participating in experimental medication studies for extra Christmas cash are we?
That, or you're a mailman.
For the first four months I lived here, even after filling out their stupid cards and packets and several visits to see the postmaster, ALL of my mail forwarded to someone in a city 45 minutes away. It was such a joy stopping for gas or to withdraw money and discovering YET AGAIN all of my bank cards and credit cards were suspended because my statements were returned my financial institutions as my address is in correct.
I also had to petition several times to the Big 3 credit bureaus to have that address removed from my credit history. And, now when I have to verify financial information this other address is used as a "in the past 5 years you have lived at xxxx question" - damned if I could ever remember that zip code.
Then, after it was "fixed" I started getting the mail for whoever was getting mine previously.
Or how about packages left in the rain to be destroyed - I guess the "Christmas" you were referring to really is in July for that excuse to hold as much water as the box in the driveway did (because those three extra steps to set it in the corner by the door on the covered porch would just be so difficult).?
My grandmother's Christmas card was returned to me this year because it was addressed to "Grandma," even though my mother's addressed to "Mom" at the same residence with the same style address labels (only the name changed) was able to make it.
My personal favorite is the one jackass carrier that likes to fold everything in half when she stuffs it into the mailbox. I can always tell when she's filling in for the other one
The post office is a sad sad joke.
Even worse, however, is that recently our own personal mail has been routinely returned to the sender for no reason. Packages, magazines and credit cards have gone missing or returned as undeliverable. There are two sets of numbers on our house, and the house is on an easily accessible street, so there's no excuse. We've been to the post office several times, but they don't seem to care.
I have to wonder if it has something to do with Obama's new postmaster general.
